Kristi M. Mobray, MS, LAC

I believe counseling is a client-centered tool. I seek to assist my clients in finding their light, voice, and direction to reach their future goals. A path for clients to find understanding within their own competencies, strengths, and abilities and a way to view alternative perspectives. 

Counseling is not one-size-fits-all, and I adapt my approach to fit the needs of each individual where they are. My approach with clients is flexible, patient, empathetic, and genuine. I strive to foster a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental atmosphere where individuals from all walks of life can gain the ability to grow, learn, and incorporate positive change.
